about everything.

There's so many

bad things, bad people,

and sometimes I wonder

why we try so hard

when we're so clearly outnumbered.

Oh, you know, I'm... I'm sorry.

I don't mean to...

- No.

- It's...

No, it's fine.

Drink.

- Yes.

- Cheers.

Here's to pain.

Hey.

Hey. Still outwith Frankie?

Yeah. I'm just about

finished, though.

- Great. Tell her hello for me.

- Okay.

See you at home in an hour?

Hello? Ryan, are you there?

Yeah. Yeah, uh...

I lost you for a second.

What'd you say?

I said I will meet you at home

in an hour. Okay?

Might be a little bit later.

I got to swing by Mom's.

Oh, um, okay.

Um, I'll see you after.

I'll see you in a bit.

I love you.

Me, too.

Okay, 10 miles.

How do you feel?

I feel...

I feel pretty good, actually

Ah, Christ,

I'm sweating like a rapist.

And you, you haven't

even broken a sweat yet.

Here we go. There.

Now at least you look like

you've been running.

A-Are you Drew Callahan?

Taylor Reese.

I was friends with Erik.

We played football

together in high school.

I was the one that threw him

all those touchdowns.

Remember that?

I think I met you, um,

our senior year after that game

against Drake.

You have to remember that one.

It was a real barnburner.

- Right, yeah.

- State championship.

Taylor, right.

Sorry, uh, kind of pathetic,

a 35-year-old guy reliving

his high school glory.

No, it's, uh...

Well, listen, it was

really good seeing you.

Uh, if you see your brother Erik,

let him...

Here. Give me...

Uh, hope everything's

going good for you.

Say hi to Erik for me.

So have you heard

from your dad lately?

Yeah, I talked to him

about a week ago.

Oh, you should talk

to him more often.

I spoke to him yesterday.

I think he might be coming home

for Christmas this year.

Has he said anything

to you about that?

Uh, no, he didn't...

he didn't say anything.

Hmm. Well, it really

will be a merry Christmas

if he can just get all that stuff

from that estate finalized

and get home.

Maybe by then, you and Kate'll

have a special gift on the way,

and then, you know,

it'll be a perfect Christmas.

Why are you listening

to Christmas music?

Oh, because it's beautiful...

happy, makes me happy.

It's June.

$0?

Christmas is six months away, Mom.

Well, why should I wait

six months to be happy?

You are relentless in the way

That you ask me

So many questions

of my days

In the calm city

of my days

In the city

You are relentless in the way

That you ask...

Ask me

So many questions

of my days

How's your mom?

Other than the fact

my dad told her

he might be coming home

for Christmas, terrific.

Your dad's coming home

for Christmas?

Of course not, Kate.
